Abstract

Objective: To explore the effectiveness of the competency model for nursing managers in the training of newly appointed head nurses. Methods: Eighteen newly appointed head nurses from Yichang Central People’s Hospital, selected between August 2023 and July 2024, were chosen as the research subjects. Based on the nursing manager competency model, corresponding training programs were developed, and these 18 head nurses were trained accordingly. Results: After the training, all newly appointed head nurses passed the theoretical assessments, with a pass rate of 100.00%. The pass rates for two rounds of assessment were 100.00% and 94.54%, respectively. There was no significant difference in the performance evaluation scores between new and senior head nurses in terms of standardized services, nursing quality, nursing research and teaching, and patient satisfaction (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The competency model for nursing managers has a significant effect on the training of newly appointed head nurses. It effectively enhances management awareness, facilitates role transition, and, to some extent, improves the management and leadership capabilities of head nurses. It holds high value for broader implementation.
